WWII. In German occupied Paris, Helene is torn between the love for her boyfriend Jean, working for the resistance and the German administrator Bergmann, who will do anything to gain her affection.—Mattias Thuresson

In 1838, in Paris, Hélène Bertrand is the young and talented designer of the dress shop owned by Gigi. Her "sister" Yvonne works with her sewing dresses and her boyfriend is Paul, who is involved in political movements. When Hélène meets Paul's friend Jean Blomart, she has a crush on him. Soon she seduces him, and they become lovers. When Paris is occupied by the Nazis, Jean goes to the front and is wounded and becomes POW. Gigi becomes a collaborator, and her major client is the German Dieter Bergman, who falls in unrequited love with Hélène. She uses Bergman to bring Jean back to Paris, where he becomes leader of the underground resistance. He believes Hélène might be a collaborator, but she will do anything to prove her loyalty to France to her lover.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
